does anyone share the same bad gaming habbit?

[QUOTE="dompper"] Link to that evidence. Also, why the hell would tobacco industry be for snus, it's more the opposite: if snus gains popularity, cigarette popularity would most likely decrease. Snus is healthier and less harmful to others around you. Cigarettes are where the money's at, and they don't want to lose that cash cow.seankane

Dude, the money is in tobacco. It doesn't matter where its in cigarette form or chewing form, its still addictive and it makes them tons of money. And with the recent crackdown on smoking and the increasing cigarette taxes, the tobacco companies are actually spending more money marketing their smoke-free tobacco products than they were before. Also, people who use smokeless tobacco are more likely to start smoking, so thats win-win for the tobacco companies.

And I cangive you links to the evidence. But you're probably going to try and dismiss all the evidence I throw at you in some way, so there's not much point. But I'll bite anyways:
